Picnic in the Vines – A Unique Loire Wine Experience

Incontournable -- Must Do!
This is a lovely family owned business. I first found them in 2015, they were in the early stages of revitalizing the vines. We did a very quick tour and wine tasting. This year, We did the picnic in the vines which included a tour, a wine tasting and an amazing picnic with local and home made foods. We could stay as long as we wanted. We did! We purchased some wine after lunch. I can't believe how much work has been done by this very small team. It is inspiring to see the dedication and passion!

“AMBACIA CELLARS”, Tour and Wine Tasting in Amboise, Loire Valley
Michelle_R, Sep 2026
Best wine tasting ever! It was an amazing learning experience!
This was the best wine tasting I have ever been to. They shared tasting by sight, smell and taste. Learned so much!!!! I have been to so many wine tasting places across the USA but this one explained how France is the best at making wine. They taught us how to tell what kind of wine and where it is from by sight, smell and then taste. He was funny and sociable and extremely knowledgeable. He taught us how to tell dry wine from sweet wine, the acidity, and if it went bad by sight and smell before even tasting it. He shared how we can tell what is in the wine, and where it is from. We learned how they make the wine and wnaurwd how it was the best. He taught us so much. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. I would highly recommend and will do there again the next time I’m in France.

Take your wine tasting to the next level
The absolute best wine tasting experience I've ever had. Thomas not only guided us through the cellars and introduce the wines, but gave us the best wine tasting education that I have ever seen. I've taken video courses from library etc, but none compare to the education that Thomas provided. Learned enough to tell what kind of wine, characteristics, and taste notes and alcohol content without seeing the bottle or tasting the wine. Heavy focus on aroma and bouquet with a exhibit that lets you experience the aroma and bouquet in a sample environment before the actual tasting. Wines were excellent and have a great shipping offer.

Victoria is incredibly knowledgeable about Chartres Cathedral history and details, and starts out by asking her charges what exactly is they’d like to learn about today. Her style is engaging and captivating, thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Our walking tour guide Gavin was a pleasure to meet and be taken through the streets of Nantes with. He showed us many of the art installations and shared the history of the city on route. We loved our visit to the market. He was very informative, and he recommended a few restaurants, two of which we tried and were so pleased, so thank you Gavin.

Tour of a Vineyard, Winery & Cellar with Wine Tasting in Vouvray, Loire Valley
Justin_E, Jul 2026
An unforgettable Loire Valley wine experience
Our guide Myriam was absolutely wonderful — knowledgeable, passionate, and a joy to spend an afternoon with. She walked us through the vines explaining the how and why behind every decision made in the vineyard, then took us through the harvest and fermentation areas before leading us into a stunning cellar partially excavated by her own father-in-law. Her explanation of how sparkling and still wines are made, stored, and bottled was fascinating from start to finish.The tasting was the highlight — a spectacular range of expressions of the Chenin Blanc grape paired with excellent food. What made it truly special was Myriam’s personal touch — she even arranged gluten-free food for one of our guests, which meant the world to us. That kind of care and attention is rare. If you’re visiting the Loire Valley and have any interest in wine, this tour is not to be missed.

Chenonceau Castle: Private Guided with Ticket
Randolph_F, Apr 2026
Mathieu the great discusses Medici and French history.
You can get through the entire castle in under 2 hours with a great guide. Certainly you can spend at least another hour in the gardens or wondering around the nooks of the castle, the farm and gardens. Mathieu was unbelievable- dressed in 1500 reenactment and full of incredible facts and one story after another! Absolutely top 3 guides we have ever had!!!! You will be missing a treasure if you do t book with Matheiu. He made the entire tour and is an absolute must. The day before we were at Chambord and the tour sucked without a great guide. And he even spent extra time after the main private tour was over. Wealth of knowledge.

Chartres Tour with local Expert
Veronique, our guide, was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the cathedral and the town. She’s a native of Chartres and offered us fascinating details about the magnificent cathedral every step of the way. I felt I was back in art history class! You have no idea how much you would miss if you simply visited the cathedral without her rich knowledge and facts. If you get a chance to take this tour with Veronique, don’t miss it!
